I see the player's are full of stories about how Capello can't wait to see his dream partnership of Carrol and Rooney playing for England at the weekend

 

Despite the fact that he hasn't scored for Liverpool yet or been anywhere near as impressive as he was playing for us in the last 18months.

 

He puts a red shirt on and he's fucking Pele!

Shearer got his first Top flight hat trick at 17 didn't he?

 

Shearer was truly one of the best players in the world. I wouldn't rule Carroll out of it but I would say his games different.

:cuppa: Better than Shearer. I bet they weren't saying that before he signed for them. He'll do well to be, at his peak, as good as Shearer was after he came back from that injury at Everton.

Shearer also never had off-field issues and the chav temperament to match

He knocked Keith Gillespie out like. :cuppa:

 

That along with kicking Lennon in the head is the behaviour of a well adjusted "nice" person

 

Neil Lennon is a lovely bloke too.

Wont let me see the full story on the NOTW site, but looks like they're running a Carrolls not good enough story from Liverpool insider. :D

 

Might get him back half price after all. ;)

 

Just six months after Carroll's £35million move to Anfield from Newcastle, there are genuine concerns as to whether the striker has what it takes to make ...

 

If anyones a member there ;) perhaps you would be kind enough to paste the full story.

ANDY CARROLL will return to Liverpool next month already facing a fight to prove he can fit into Kenny Dalglish's long-term plans.

 

Carroll should have been leading the England Under-21 attack against Spain tonight.

 

Instead, the Liverpool striker's summer holiday represents the calm before the storm as he readies himself for the most important season of his career.

 

Just six months after Carroll's £35million move to Anfield from Newcastle, there are genuine concerns as to whether the striker has what it takes to make his time on Merseyside a success.

 

The 22-year-old's lifestyle and lack of fitness are making many at the club fear he is destined to become an expensive mistake unless he can rid himself of bad habits and bad influences.

 

The Geordie will be under intense pressure to start delivering in August after being given a relatively easy ride in his first six months at Liverpool.

 

Although he scored twice, his fitness levels started to alarm the club during the climax to the campaign.

 

His lack of contribution to the club's recovery from 12th to sixth under Dalglish slipped under the radar largely due to the impact of Luis Suarez.

 

The Uruguayan, who signed on the same deadline day in January, was able to distract attention from the void left by Fernando Torres.

 

There were plenty at Anfield who thought Carroll would have been better off in Denmark with the Under-21s rather than sunning himself on holiday

And, while Torres was universally slammed for his difficulties settling at Stamford Bridge, it has been relatively ignored that, without Suarez's impact, the £35m spent on Carroll would have received much more damning scrutiny.

 

Carroll, the eighth-most expensive footballer in history and the second-most expensive player playing for a British club behind Torres, was injured when he arrived and continued to pick up niggles during training.

 

That was put down in part to his poor shape, which is not helped by his off-the-pitch routine.

 

The striker has been described as a throwback to another era, but that applies to his social life as much as his style of play.

 

Before arriving at Anfield his off-field reputation had eclipsed his impressive displays for Newcastle, for whom he scored 33 goals in 91 appearances.

 

He was fined for a nightclub assault and also involved in a highly publicised training ground incident which left team-mate Steven Taylor with a broken jaw.

 

Since arriving, he has been spotted celebrating Liverpool wins in city centre bars. The feeling is that close friends ought to be looking after him and warning him he will not survive at Anfield unless he oversees a massive change in approach.

 

There were plenty at Anfield who thought Carroll would have been better off in Denmark with the Under-21s rather than sunning himself on holiday.

 

But that would mean he'd miss the start of Liverpool's pre-season and Dalglish felt it could have done more harm than good.

 

Instead, come the first week of July, the striker is likely to be worked like he has never been before.

 

Those first few weeks of conditioning work will be the most crucial he will ever undertake.

 

Should Carroll not emerge from that looking like a new player, it is no exaggeration to suggest his Liverpool career will be under immediate threat.

 

The biggest problem will be how Carroll fits into a team which is to be built on youthful energy, movement and running opponents ragged.

 

Serious questions were starting to be raised about whether Carroll should be in the team at all. And it will not get any easier for him in August

Seven days at the end of last season exposed where Carroll's difficulties lie. In their penultimate away game at Fulham, the pace, athleticism and mobility of Dalglish's midfield and strike force demonstrated his long-term vision for how Liverpool will play.

 

Suarez and Dirk Kuyt excelled because of their ability to drag defenders into areas they felt uncomfortable.

 

Five days later at home to Spurs, Liverpool were unrecognisable. Carroll led the line looking unfit and unsuited to the high-tempo game Dalglish wants.

 

His movement was poor, his touch suspect and the balance of the team was badly affected.

 

He could hide behind a troublesome knee injury which forced him out of the final game at Aston Villa, but in reality the end of the season came at the right time.

 

Serious questions were starting to be raised about whether Carroll should be in the team at all. And it will not get any easier for him in August.

 

Dalglish's summer transfer targets are designed to add more vibrancy in midfield and attack.

 

Jordan Henderson will be as likely to play right midfield as central. Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam's likely arrival will raise the possibility of Dalglish favouring 4-3-3.

 

The interest in Ipswich's Connor Wickham will offer more competition, although on the basis of their form at the end of last season Suarez and Kuyt are undroppable.

 

So where will Carroll play? He will certainly offer a different option with his physical presence, but the Kop was anticipating much more for £35m.

 

He is in danger of transforming himself from the new Alan Shearer into an impact sub.

 

Still, there is no doubt that under Dalglish Carroll will be given the chance to thrive.

 

"We did not sign Andy for six months, we signed him for six years," was the manager's response to any Carroll questions last season.

 

 

Sorry doing this all on the iPhone since the Missus has taken the laptop away for the weekend!
